There are a lot of Tampa Bay Lightning fans that have an interest in the Stanley Cup Final. There are even more Montreal Canadiens fans watching as well. For the rest of the league, they’re watching because it’s the last bit of competitive hockey until October. For a dedicated few, it’s also a chance to make a little money (or if you bet on Erik Cernak to score the first goal in last night’s game, a lot of money).
With the proliferation of online betting apps you don’t have to live in Las Vegas or know someone who knows someone to get your bets placed.
